Me, again. The dress didn't fit quite right, so I had a little fabric-roll action going on around the waistline. It was my first dress... Lessons learned. Here you can see some of the accessories I made with more of the extra fabric I had. I still wear some of those today!

One last (slightly blurry) look at the dress. This is the kind of attitude one must have while wearing a tie-dye dress!

I get a TON of questions, messages, emails, WHAT HAVE YOU regarding this dress. I used a basic dress pattern, you can use any you want really. It isn't exactly tie-dye either, I batiked some plain cotton linen/fabric to get this tie-dye effect and to maintain the really saturated colors, and then sewed cut the fabric and sewed it together. That resulted in the tie-dye pattern not matching up at the seams.

Theoretically, you could make a Tie-Dye dress by making a plain-white dress with fabric that will take to dying and then tie-dye the dress by traditional methods. This will give you a seamless tie-dye pattern.

so on the first day or school i decided to be a fairy hooker (even though i dress like this almost everyday...)

i made a t-skirt (t-shirt into a skirt) and sewed on bunches of tulle (duh), along with a top layer of unbunched tulleand i thrifted a too small blouse for the shrug, and vintage lingirie (mmmm bathing in used sex clothes) over a regular black tank
